Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

評分《坎特伯雷故事》是中世纪“英国诗歌之父”杰弗雷•乔叟的顶峰之作,也是一部英国文艺复兴早期的浮世绘。一帮朝圣客在前往圣地坎特伯雷大教堂的旅途中,以讲故事的方式增加旅途乐趣。由于这帮人鱼龙混杂、心态各异,所以讲出来的故事也就三观不齐、五味杂陈。既有圣迹和英雄...

哲理型長詩麼
评分那些惆悵的英美文學課啊.......
评分關注主題:religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否對一切主流的價值觀都抱著嘲諷揶揄的態度呢?我們是否過度解讀瞭中世紀的詩歌呢?不管怎麼樣,這是一本真正的寶庫。
评分寫得還是不錯的,但中古英語讀得蛋疼啊....五個多小時看瞭兩個tales和intro,眼睛都瞎瞭
评分Middle Age
